List of WotLK Tanking Items

by **Azmodal** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 7:55 am

Greetings everyone! I've been coming to these boards for about a year now, but this'll be my first post. Anywho, I compiled a list of (what I think) the best rares (and some epics) you can/should gather before level 80 raiding.

Items with an asterisk (*) in front of them notate preferable items to get, and question marks indicate that I couldn't find the info yet, and I will continue to update as new information is gathered.

Hope this helps anyone looking to gear up asap to get back to raiding, and any questions/comments are greatly appreciated!

Edit: Ack, didn't even realize Zamach hada post including most of this stuff already! Oh well, this serves more as a "gear up to raiding" rather than a list of blues/purples, including raid gear. Sorry for the extra info, guys

Also, I'm in the process of cleaning this up a bit, to make it a bit easier to traverse and read.

I appreciate the effort, but....

I think we had a list somewhere, but it doesn't hurt to have another PoV.

by **Diocaska** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:26 am

No need to be sorry mate. T'was useful information, and had effort put into it.

by **Azmodal** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:26 am

Ok, its a bit cleaner now, and I hope at least someone gets some use out of it, as a spent a bit of time on it. I know Zamach's post is more comprehensive than this, but I hope people may just look at mine as a stepping stone on the way to his!

Thanks for reading, guys! I'll keep the info as up to date as possible!

I also recall seeing another list somewhere...but it never got stickied.

Question is, why isnt the list stickied?

by **PsiVen** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 12:38 pm

I think we need a wiki.

How dare you post helpful information. See you in hell.

by **Azmodal** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 2:36 pm

Yeah, I'm just not quite sure when I'll learn!

Ok, and this seems really crazed-fanboy of me, but who else out there can't stop looking at all the sexy blue/purple armor/weapons/trinkets/anything on WoWhead? I've literally been comparing stats and pictures and drop rates for like 10 hours now.

I don't think I should be this excited about numbers and formulas.

Should I?
